Being the guest always makes me a better host.
I spent the May long weekend as an Airbnb guest for a bachelorette, and it was such a great reminder of what makes a great stay.
When I’m in an Airbnb, I naturally poke around and notice everything.
Here’s what stood out:
-genuinely comfortable beds with white cotton linens
-lots of gathering spaces (inside AND outside)
-simple amenities done well (unlimited firewood, a very well stocked kitchen, and all the supplies we needed)
-proximity to a great restaurant and cafe
The bridal party brought the details, including the banner AND the Pilates teacher, but it reinforced something we think about often at Guest House:
The most memorable stays start with getting the fundamentals right, then layering in thoughtful experiences.
For our bachelorette groups, we offer curated add-ons like private yoga, charcuterie tables, and other local experiences to make the weekend more memorable.
What’s one thing that instantly makes an Airbnb stay better for you?
